Hit that note...

As well as writing my piece for my individual assessment, I have also been working on my singing, specifically reaching a higher register.  

Being a Soprano in choir means that I am expected to reach high notes and recently, I've been struggling to do so. Due to this, I decided to take matters in to my own hands and do daily warm ups to improve my muscle memory. To strengthen my muscle memory I decided working on scales would be a good start.




Firstly, I found this video which gives you different warm up techniques to do over a range of scales suited to a Soprano voice. 


After I found the first video, I decided to keep looking for more vocal warmups. I stumbled upon this video which again gives you techniques to do over scales. After taking a closer look, I discovered that there is a whole series of warmups by this account that work on scales. 

I then found a book called "Vocal Warm-ups: 200 Exercises for Choral and Solo Singers". Having looked through it, it looked like it offered the same things as the Youtube videos I had found. 

Having worked with the two videos for a week, I could definitely see the beginning of an improvement in my higher register.
